Part 10
If this is not the last chapter is almost the last one.
Terry bites her lips as she stumps down from the bus carrying little with a her-a small bag and the clothes in her body- as she takes a glance on the place. A small European city in a small forgotten European country. Ruritania is lovely, but, is not exactly the first place for tourism due to how smaller it is and how some Ruritanians are confused in regards the tourism in the first place( xenophobic reasons? she did ask to the Foundation once they revealed the location and all they informed was how the country is just too smaller to be noticed by the tourism agencies, hardly people pay attention to Liechtenstein. Why would pay attention to Ruritania?) then again, Terry is not here to marvel at small European cities.
Dr Kondraki is there with a small signal in his hands and waves at Terry. She looks at his scars on his face and is a bit confused - she has a sense of dread looking at the scars but not at the man itself-and offers a small wave of hands as Dr Kondraki is guiding her to where the ceremony will begin. Wordless and Terry Pryde wonders if he can speak, and, turns out he can.
“Do you know the real reason why we pick you?” Dr Kondraki speaks in English as next to none in this country understand English and even if they did...what they would take of this conversation?
“Oh, the other Drs gave me an explanation. Is because I´m pregnant and Zaorva is more likely to listen to me, right?”
“Well, not entirely wrong, but, we have other reason to pick you...” then he turns to Terry and speaks again. “What if I told right here and now that in a different universe you gave birth to Zaorva?”
“I would say...is not the strangest thing I have heard of” Terry confirms and now the man is peering at her and she can see the blue space again, again and again.
“Did she torture? Zaorva, I mean...did she put you under those scars?”
“Zaorva? No, it was something else...You can see the blue space? Then it´s more proof we pick the right person...also, she didn´t torture me...she saved me”is all Dr Kondraki offers as now Terry is inside the hotel-another pocket dimension for the Foundation where a big white Samoyed is on the circle looking happy to be here-that it hits her. She´s going to summon an Outer God.
“What if...Zaorva does not hear me?”
“She will...and if she doesn´t...you can go home” one of them states and elaborated as Terry does not seem to believe. “In a different dimension, you gave birth to Zaorva...You really think we would hurt the mother of an Outer God? Not even Dr Bright is that stupid”
“HEY!”
And Terry sighs and slowly enters in the circle trying all her might to ignore the fact the circle is now glowing. To soothe her nerves, and Terry can´t deny she´s nervous, she starts talking with the Samoyed. “Hey, buddy. I´m really nervous here. I want to speak with your mother about something...but, not sure if she will listen to me...can I hug you? I´m very confused here and you look extremely huggable”
The dog seems to allow and Terry hugs him and closes her eyes. I need to speak with Zaorva.
Speak with me about what?
“You...” Terry tries to speak and opens her eyes, but, she can feel a pair of fingers urging them to stay closed.
My form may be human but you may not like it...Teresa Pryde.
“I want to ask something, if I may...” she gulps and continues to hug the dog who is more affable then ever.
I´m here and I´m listening.
“Is about Krakoa...we humans can do big things either good or bad, but, Krakoa proves that maybe we can´t be out of your reach Celestial Mother...Krakoa proves to be a danger to mutants and humans and all life on Earth”
Yes, it is.
“Could you help your kids?”
If I do that...are you prepared for initiative 3 moons?
The initiative 3 moons. Yes, the Foundation has a vague idea of what it is and did brief Terry on what is entitled. True, having to ask your mother, in a metaphorical sense, to watch over your steps seem stupid, however, Prof X and Magneto prove how much humanity needs a mother watching them now.
“Yes, we´re prepared for the initiative 3 moons. Just, please, help us...Krakoa is a danger and my daughter may be taken from me”
No one will take your daughter Terry. No one. Rest assured. I´ll put an end on Krakoa.
